About

Nave Law Firm is a full-service practice based in Albany, New York, serving the Capital Region with a focus on criminal defense, DWI and DWAI charges, and education law. With more than 100 years of combined experience, the firm brings deep knowledge of New York State criminal and traffic law to clients facing serious legal challenges.

The firm specializes in defending individuals charged with a broad spectrum of criminal offenses, including DWI, aggravated DWI, felony DWI, assault, larceny, robbery, fraud, drug possession, weapons charges, and other felonies and misdemeanors. DWI defense is a particular emphasis, and Nave Law recognizes that New York's DWI statutes—which distinguish between DWI (blood alcohol content of .08 percent or higher), DWAI (between .05 and .07 percent), and Aggravated DWI (over .18 percent)—carry escalating penalties that can include license suspension, fines, and incarceration. The firm works to protect clients' driving privileges and freedom, particularly in cases involving prior offenses or circumstances that elevate charges to felony status, such as the presence of a child under 16 in the vehicle.

Nave Law Firm operates with a commitment to treating each client's situation as unique rather than applying standardized solutions. The team comprises experienced attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and advocates who emphasize transparent communication and honest representation. The firm describes its approach as focused on everyday people's problems and dedicated to compassion and positive results. Clients have noted that their cases receive careful attention and that they do not feel neglected throughout the legal process.

Available around the clock, the firm offers consultations by phone at (518) 649-9281, email, or online form. The practice prides itself on being responsive and serving the Albany and Tri-Cities area with legal representation that is local, affordable, and personal. Nave Law Firm maintains that if it cannot help a prospective client, it will not accept payment, reflecting a results-oriented stance toward client engagement.
